1. Well, this is looking serious.

Here's hoping the efforts to stop the spread are helping. Comments downthread are always interesting, esp re Taiwan.

K&R for visibility.

2. Cases in Shanghai and Beijing confirmed all this while people are moving around for the biggest

holiday of the year there
Besides Taiwan , Thailand, Japan, South Korea, and of course the US all have reported the virus

3. Now I feel silly - right after I posted I saw a story about the Lunar New Year.

*sigh* It's like the perfect storm for spreading the coronavirus.

The only mention I've seen for the US is a case in Seattle - has there been any other confirmed case besides that one?

6. Someone arrived at LAX with it

But haven't heard anything more about that one.

7. Well, damn.

Everybody go wash your hands.

4. I would be concerned

But I'm already dead from the last 10 bird flu pandemics I heard about.
